Certain movements are more painful than others, still pretty painful trying to walk up stairs. I’m elevating my foot right now, the doctor was supposed to call back today but their office closes at 4:30, so I’m going to have to call them tomorrow morning to figure out what the plan is. I just don’t want what happened last time with this ankle. I first sprained it and didn’t really stay off it, the my ankle really gave out and I ended up with three fractures that required three surgeries to fix within a few months of each other. Thanks for asking, I am just really anxious about this ankle really giving out and causing it to fracture again. It does have a titanium plate with five screws in it, but I don’t know if it can tolerate another fall.
